<br><br><p class="MsoNormal">Several questions about leadership (invisible) on issues of
social change. I always gain insight as I hear from you.<br></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">I am still thinking through the concept of self-organizing
systems and invisible leadership.<span style=""> </span>I am
amazed at its implications and continue to expand my understanding or more precisely,
its understanding and impact on me.<span style=""> </span>A discussion we
had sometime back was very helpful to me.<span style="">
</span>Now, I bring it back to the table--</p>
<p class="MsoNormal">Last night, I watched the movie, <i style="">Amazing Grace</i>—the story of a system reflecting upon itself, on
social change.<span style=""> </span><span style=""> </span>What is the role of leadership in social
change or justice issues?<span style=""> </span>How does <i style="">invisible leadership</i> apply in such
context?<span style=""> </span>Was, and if so, how was William
Wilberforce an invisible leader? <span style=""> </span>I am
asking this in an open manner trying to get a handle on it through this
experience. </p>
<p class="MsoNormal">My first thoughts are that the leader is the surfer of the
current or wave, but before surfing, he/she (or the system) <span style=""> </span>must acknowledge its there and decide when to
get on the surf board and ride, and when to simply watch and wait. But what
about speaking?<span style=""> </span>Does it help create the
wave, simply acknowledge it, or what?</p>
<p class="MsoNormal">This also carries over into the issue of environment, etc. .
. or any issue.<span style=""> </span><span style=""><br></span></p><p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">Thanks,</p>
